Please also check out a book which gives many (possible) interpretations of the Covid-19 phenomenon. It is The Corona Transmissions Alternatives for Engaging with COVID-19 - from the Physical to the Metaphysical. It is edited by Richard Grossinger who is the founder of North Atlantic Books and the author of many books including his extraordinary Dark Pool of Light Trilogy. Check it out on the Inner Traditions website which features the table of contents and some of the featured poems and essays.
